Pokémon GO - Holiday 2018
The Holiday event in Pokémon GO has changed its special bonus. From now until 21:00 UTC on December 26th 2018, all players will receive double the usual amount of Stardust when capturing Pokémon. This will then be replaced with double capture experience on December 26th and double incubator efficiency on December 30th until January 2nd.

Pokémon GO
Earlier this month, as part of an overarching promotion in Tottori, Japan, where Sandshrew has been appointed the ambassador to Tottori, a small Pokémon GO event ran until December 19th where Sandshrew would spawn in higher amounts, with Shiny Sandshrew being possible. Outside of Tottori, it was not possible to get a Shiny Sandshrew. However, now the event has ended, there have been reports of people finding Shiny Sandshrew outside of Tottori. As Sandshrew isn't common at present due to the Holiday 2018 Event, they are still hard to come by. We're currently investigating further so keep checking back
Edit @ 12:48: There have been even more reports for Shiny Sandshrew appearing so it is confirmed
